I was looking for a way to see how much my solar panels are producing...I have a grid tie in system with a 500w inverter 30 amps max...will this work

Answer here...Yes it will let you know how much wattage each legg is pulling when under load,and wired into your circuit panel.In your case I would think a kill O watt meter might be better,it will let you know how much power the solar panels are producing.Plug inverter into kill o watt meter and from there run out of kill o watt meter to your circuit panel.The MB75 lets you read wattage being used off of each buss in your panel so you can even out your wattage from buss A and buss B,in return making your solar panels produce and last much longer,in my case it makes my portable generator run,and last much longer.Hope this helps let me know how it turns out.

I think you panels are a little too powerful for this converter, it's only 240 Watt. It's a great little item for running devices directly from Solar Panels, I was using it yesterday. I connected it to a Renogy 50 Watt bendable panel then the output to a 100 Watt "cigarette lighter" style inverter. Then I plugged my 45 Watt base guitar amplifier into it and boomed out the neighborhood with a tuneful little melody! The trick is getting the 20 Volt Solar Panel output down to 12 Volts for an inverter, but be careful you don't overpower it!

I have 820 watts of solar and I have the Morningstar MPPT 45 with 6 batteries and works fine. The mppt 45 will only allow me 45 amps, but if I produce more it will not hurt that controller.

we bought that kit the inverterwas too small for what we needed to do we bought the 6000 it does a great job we are running for 100 watt solar panel 6 /6 volt batterywe run it from 12 o'clock in the afternoon 2 ,1 o'clock in the morning then we lost power we are living in a 40 foot trailer we plan on adding a 900 wind generator and 6 more batteries that should do the trick but the 1500 watt inverter just wasn't enough hope this was help

The voltage produced by the solar panels will probably exceed the input voltage of the converter. My solar panels feed a controller which feeds a battery bank. The converter (inverter) draws current from the battery bank.

From my experience I have a 500 watt sun gridtie inverter and a 600 watt sun gridtie inverter with 4 250 watt grape solar panels connected in parallel everything is good runs warm but I keep a small fan on them I would say no more than 500 watts on that 600 watt inverter.

This tie only works when voltage from solar panels is over its threshold point. 10, 15watt panels charge my 150 amp hour batteries. The tie inverter plugs into any 110 outlet, and feeds back at a slight higher votage than the 110 line. 150 watts off my electric bill just like that. It works about 6 hours a day, all automatically.

I believe it all depends on how much draw you are going to have. I connected two of these batteries to an old farmhouse's electric system via an invertor and basically ran lights (mostly LEDs) and charged my laptop, cell, ran a radio or two. My solar panels only produce 120 watts. I never had the batteries completely drained or even close to that and they worked fine. I would prefer to have more than two in the future so as to have more reserve when cloudy periods are extensive.Hope this helps!

if you have a 110V AC power cord it will work fine. I am in the united states and using the inverter to convert DC power from one solar panel down to AC power. Works like a charm on 110V AC as long as your have the right plug.

each panel is 250 watt 24vdc 1000 watt total at 24vdc i'm running 3 600 watt grid inverters now i'm going to buy a 3500 watt grid tie inverter soon

One 85 watt panel Should deliver around 7 amps at 12 volts in full sun. If you have all 4 panels connected through a single (7 amp) controller, it is way overloaded. Sounds like you might need 3 more controllers or simply a bigger controller unit.

Not with only this one panel. This is (roughly) 12 volts x 10 amps = 120 wattsLook at your electric bill to see the overall kilowatts you consume. Also you must consider peaks, not just the overall usage. In California, solar installation companies and some power companies will help you figure out how much you need.

I'm in Phoenix. I have two 250W inverters which produce about 3 KWH / Day... so divide by 2 and you get 1.5 KWh per day. In Cali... I'd expect closer to 1.3 or 1.2. Hope that helps.

I am charging two batteries(lawn mower size) from the panel through the regulator I am adding a transformer to smooth the circuit,,, it ends at a 1000watt inverter, everything seems good, the panel generates electricity even on cloudy days... MPP

Based on my experience, I think you would need two units. And you would need a maximum power point type of solar battery charger as well. I use two units in parallel to feed a maximum power point type of grid tie inverter and the maximum power that I get, when the sunlight is optimal, is 150 watts. And that is usually less because the sunlight is not always optimal.

This device doesn`t support the batterys.Your Charge controller & solar panels determon what charge is in your batterys. The amount of amps drawn from your battery to run this device is determoned by how much power your load is drawing from the inverter.I have 30 deep cycle marine batterys supplying power to my 2500 watt inverter & I run two 1000 watt electric heaters, my frig. and house lights when I have a good supply of sunlight charging my batterys at 14.3 volts from three 40 amp charge controllers.I have at times seen this inverter draw my batterys down on a very cloudy day to 9.6 volts and still put out 115 volts.Any lower battery voltage and the inverter will shut down, but will come back on automatically as soon as the battery voltage gets built back high enough to run the inverter.
